Abstract

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nocturnal enuresis (NE) on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in children with a special emphasis on the domains of HRQoL.

Methods: This was a case-control study in which consecutive children with NE were recruited along with their parents. Age and sex-matched children without enuresis served as controls. Age-appropriate children and proxy versions of the German Quality of Life Questionnaire (KINDL) were used to evaluate HRQoL and its domains. The clinicodemographic characteristics and family data were collected. HRQoL and the domain scores were compared between the patients and the control subjects.

Results: 100 children (50 of whom are males) with enuresis along with their parents were included in the study. 100 children served as the control group. The mean age of the patients was 9.58±2.77 years, and was no different from that of the control group. 55% of the children were receiving treatment for NE. The most common treatment was the nighttime waking (40%). The most commonly used drug was desmopressin. The median score of the health-related quality of life was 78.8 [69.2-83.3] in children with NE versus 90 [86.7-91.7] in the control group (p<0.001). In all domains, the median scores were significantly lower in children with NE compared with the controls.

Conclusion: Turkish children with NE had a significantly lower HRQoL score compared with children without NE. All the domain scores were also significantly lower in children with NE compared with the control subjects.

夜间遗尿对儿童健康相关生活质量的影响
目的:本研究的主要目的是评估夜间遗尿(NE)对儿童健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的影响,特别强调HRQoL的领域。方法:这是一项病例对照研究,连续招募患有NE的儿童及其父母。无遗尿症的年龄和性别匹配的儿童作为对照。使用适龄儿童和代理版本的德国生活质量问卷(KINDL)来评估HRQoL及其域。收集临床人口学特征和家庭资料。比较两组患者的HRQoL和domain得分。结果:100例遗尿患儿(其中50例为男性)及其父母被纳入研究。100名儿童作为对照组。患者平均年龄为9.58±2.77岁,与对照组无明显差异。55%的儿童正在接受NE治疗。最常见的治疗方法是夜间醒来(40%)。最常用的药物是去氨加压素。NE患儿健康相关生活质量的中位评分为78.8[69.2-83.3],对照组为90 [86.7-91.7](p结论:土耳其NE患儿的HRQoL评分明显低于无NE患儿。与对照组相比,NE患儿的所有领域得分也显著降低。
